I dry mine on patio door screens that can be stacked 6 high on 8' ceiling,fold up for easy storage. Each screen holds 2 -3lb. Drying and curing is an art modified for each room. I believe in slow and easy. I take 10 days to dry my herb. I normally then lock them up in jars for 3 weeks then deliver to my patients. I personally like a 5 week cure, some to 8. But I am not proud I would burn one with you if you just pulled it out of the microwave.JK
